Falling For My Ex's Uncle - Chapter 295: Chapter 295

After hanging up Ivan, I didn't expect to receive a call from Kailyn asking to meet me. But I didn't want to see her at all.
Just as I was about to hang up, her sharp and provocative voice burst out of the receiver like a poisonous arrow. "Laurel, didn't you want to go back to the Parks family? You don't even dare to see me?"
Kailyn's tone was raised high, full of disdain.
My fingers gripped the phone tightly, and my joints turned white. I said casually, "Kailyn, don't goad me. Since you want to see me, so be it."
I was certain that she was in a hurry to find me because Maddox must have been cornered by the Parks family and sent her to be a lobbyist in a vain attempt to force me to submit. Unfortunately, she found the most annoying person she could.
I asked Lawrence to send me to the agreed-upon restaurant.
I pushed the door open and entered. The warm air carried the fragrance of coffee, but I wasn't in the mood to enjoy it. My gaze was like lightning as I quickly scanned the restaurant.
I did not see Kailyn, but I saw Austin sitting in a hidden corner with a serious expression. He frowned slightly and looked like he had a lot on his mind.
When I saw him, my eyes instantly turned cold, and my face revealed a trace of doubt.
I didn't see Kailyn. I took a deep breath and walked straight to Austin.
"Where's your fiancée? Didn't she ask me out? Why are you here?" I sat across from Austin and asked the waiter to pour me a glass of lemonade.
Austin sneered. "Laurel, you're really something! Do you have to bring chaos to the Herrera family and the Parks family? It's not enough that you killed Rosemary, but now you want to anger others to death? You're really ruthless!"
His voice rose, and each word was like a knife, as if he wanted to nail me to the spot.
I was filled with shock and anger as I stared at him. "Austin, make yourself clear today. There has to be a limit to your slander! You said that I caused Rosemary's death. Where's the evidence? Why don't I call the police for you and see if they arrest me?
"If you dare to slander me again, I'll sue you for slander immediately! Others tolerate you because you are a member of the Herrera family. Besides that, you have nothing."
As soon as I finished speaking, Austin's face turned red. He was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged. After holding it in for a long time, he squeezed it out from between his teeth. "Laurel, you weren't used to being like this. So you've been pretending all along?
"Didn't you want the Parks family back because you coveted the Parks family's money? You're willing to do anything to achieve your goal. You are so shameless."
"Don't you need money right now? I'll give you mine." I sneered and looked at Austin with a smile. "I love money. So what? Even an illegitimate daughter can inherit her biological father's assets. Why can't I?
"Not only do I want what belongs to me, but I also want what belongs to my mother. This is what the Parks family should give me. Maddox should also pay child support to me. He didn't give me a single cent!"
Austin was speechless. Seeing him suffer, I was secretly pleased. I snorted and turned to leave.
As soon as I raised my foot, Kailyn suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stopped me with a smile. "Laurel, what's wrong? Did Austin say something unpleasant? Don't take it to heart. I'll apologize to you on his behalf."
Her voice was hurried, but there was a hint of panic in her eyes.
Looking at the pretentious Kailyn in front of me, my face was filled with disgust. I glanced at her and said, "Kailyn, you called me here. If you have something to say, say it. I don't want to waste time!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I glared at her coldly. Looking at her cautious appearance at this moment, compared to the arrogance she had when she was the Parks family, I sneered in my heart.
I said, "Know your place. You're Austin's wife. You should call me Aunt. Don't try to get close to me. Do you understand?"
Every word I said was like a knife. Seeing her face turn pale, hatred flashed in her eyes. Her lips moved a few times, but she didn't make a sound.
Kailyn clearly did not expect me to embarrass her in public. Her body stiffened, and she stood there in a daze.
"You... How can you be so unreasonable!" Austin frowned, as if he did not expect that I did not care about my image at all. Not only did I not give Kailyn any face in public, I actually said it out loud.
In the Herrera family, I had never been afraid of anything. He had not forgotten the scene where I taught Edna a lesson. I felt that Austin still took me as the punching bag from before.
Kailyn gritted her teeth and suppressed her anger. She took a deep breath and walked to the table to sit down. She crossed her hands and tried her best to squeeze out a smile, but that smile was uglier than crying. "Laurel, let's sit down and discuss it. Dad really hopes that you will return to the Parks family. He has been thinking about it all these years and feels that he owes you. He wants to make it up to you as much as possible."
The corners of my mouth curl up into a mocking smile. I sit down boldly and cross my legs.
I casually placed my hand on the armrest and said slowly, "Compensation? Sure, give me more shares of the Parks Group. Maybe when I'm in a good mood, I can accompany him to act like his dear daughter in front of the reporters and support the Parks family."
Kailyn clenched her fists under the table, her nails digging into her palms. She still had a fake smile on her face, but her voice was unconsciously anxious. "It hasn't been easy for the Parks family these years. You can't imagine all kinds of difficulties we have been through. How can you ask for shares so boldly?
"Dad is sincere. As long as you go back, we can give you properties, cars, and money. In the future, you will have a say in the Parks family matters."
Hearing Kailyn's words, I couldn't help but be stunned. It seemed like she didn't know that Isaac had given me the shares.
I realized that she probably didn't come to me on Maddox's orders. Thinking of this, I immediately understood.
She had been ordered by Melody to bargain with me. Unfortunately, she had found the wrong person. I was not my mother. I was not that gullible.
I raised my eyebrows and snorted. I crossed my arms and leaned back. "What property and car are you going to give to me?"
"We can buy you an apartment in Newton City. 3,000 square feet should be enough. As for the car, anything within 300 thousand dollars shouldn't be a problem. If you want something better, I'll discuss it with my father."
"Discuss?" I narrowed my eyes and shook my head. "Is that all you have to offer? I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. The last time you gave me ten percent of your shares, not only did it not increase in value, but it even decreased. Do you think I will fall for it again?"
Kailyn was shocked. "What shares?"
I was very curious about her question. I asked in confusion, "Don't you know? Who asked you to come over and ask me to return to the Parks family then?"
After a pause, I suddenly understood. "Did your mother ask you to do this? I'm a member of the Herrera family, after all. This is not a slap to my face, but also a slap to the Parks family's face!"
Kailyn's expression instantly turned extremely ugly. I couldn't be bothered with her and turned to leave with a cold expression.
